Topics included in the presentation

• Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA)
• Reversing the trend
• Use of Standards in PSA’s regulations
• Highlights from Trends in risk level in the

petroleum activities 2016 (RNNP)

PTIL/PSA

Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA)

• Established in 1972 as part of the

Norwegian Petroleum Directorate – Independent regulator from 2004

• Regulator for technical and operational

safety, including emergency preparedness, and for the working environment in all phases of the petroleum activity

• Authority has been delegated for:
• issue regulations for the petroleum

sector as authorized by legislation

• undertake overall safety assessments
• take decisions on consents, sanctions and

exemptions from regulatory requirements.

• Report to the Ministry of Labour and

Social Affairs

• About 170 employees
• Collaborate with other HSE regulators

nationally and internationally

companies, unions and government.

• Trust and openness.

Distinctive features of the Norw egian approach to regulation

PTIL/PSA

The industry is changing and being challenged. Pressures are growing. The past two years have been characterised by serious incidents and safety challenges. This trend will be reversed in 2017 – with us as the driving force and industry as the implementer. How will your company and your

• rganisation contribute?

PTIL/PSA

Collaboration between the various sides in the petroleum sector is under greater pressure, both between companies and unions and between them and the government. Such bi- and tripartite interaction occupies a key place in Norwegian safety efforts. Consequences of a weakened cooperation could include a poorer basis for important decisions by company managements, and weaker entrenchment with employees of important choices for the way forward.

Collaboration

Three defined areas

Robustness

The industry is making major changes to cut costs and become more efficient. We are worried that such optimisation will increasingly squeeze margins in technical facilities, operating systems and

• rganisations. The end result could be reduced robustness.

PTIL/PSA

Norway’s petroleum sector is among the leaders for standardisation and the use of standards. Standards are an important part of the basic norms as the functional regulations are based. We will work closely with the industry to contribute to increased use and further development of good standards.

Three defined areas

Standardisation

PTIL/PSA

Standardisation: trends

• Standardisation – industry level
• Increased pressure on cost-efficiency in standards.

Technical content and level under challenge.

• The danger exists of a growing backlog in updating Norsok standards.
• Use of standards – company level
• The overall extent of internal company specifications has increased.
• More use of internal company specifications instead of norms set by standards.

PTIL/PSA

Management regulations Section 24 Use of recognised standards

• When the responsible party makes use of a standard recommended in the

guidelines, the responsible party can normally assume that the regulatory requirements have been met.

• When other solutions than those recommended in the guidelines are used,

the responsible party shall be able to document that the chosen solution fulfils the regulatory requirements.

PSA’s references to standards for offshore petroleum activities

Standards referred to from PSA’s guidelines to the regulations for offshore petroleum activities. Number of standards International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 11 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 41 European Standard (EN) 19 NORSOK standards 48 Norwegian Standard (NS) 5 Norwegian Oil and Gas Association (NOROG) 6 The Norwegian Shipowners' Association (NR) 2 International Maritime Organization (IMO) 6 Nordtest (NT) 2 European Diving Technology Committee (EDTC) 1 DNV GL 21 The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) 1 American Petroleum Institute (API) 2 Totalt 165

Trends in Risk Level in the petroleum activity 2016

Total risk indicator, production facilities, normalized against working hours, annual values and three-year rolling average. Trends in million working hours on MODUs (flyttbare innretninger) and production facilities (produksjons-innretninger).

PTIL/PSA

Trends in Risk Level for risers, pipelines and subsea production systems.

Number of leaks for riser & pipelines within the safety zone Number of incidents involving serious damage to riser & pipelines within the safety zone.

Translations: NUI = Normally not manned platform, Kompleks = cluser of platforms, Flytende produksjon = floating production units, Fast produksjon = fixed production platforms.

PTIL/PSA

Trends in Risk Level for structural integrity and marine systems.

Number of serious incidents involving damage to structures Number of serious incidents involving damage to structures and maritime systems.

Translations: Flyttbare = MODUs, NUI = Normally not manned platform, Kompleks = cluser of platforms Flytende produksjon = floating production units, Fast produksjon = fixed production platforms. Translations: Annet = other Vann på avveier = stability and ballast failure Stormskader = damages caused by waves. Sprekker = fatigue cracks
